We learn that there was q stabbing af-
fair In Mauk's district on Christmas; that
one nan by the name of Laws was dan
%gciously wounded. l also heard Of q
difficulty near here, between the Akcrs

boarding with the sheriff. 1t Is said that
brandy was the cause of both these diff

tion.
We have had two recent deaths. Mrs.

Miss Matte Broyles, daughter Of DR.. T.

fifteenth birthday. The wound healed
up. But on last Sunday night she took
"lock,jaw,' from which she suffered
much, and died Wednesday. 1t is sad to
see one so young and healthy, fade so rap
idly. "But dangers stand thick through
all the land, to hurry mortals home" Il
is very wise to be ready for death.

JAN. 19.-The scientists of the whole
world are in ignorance as 10 the origin of
the African race. l see that some believe
that they are the descendants OF Nuah's
third son, Ham. No satisfactory expla-
nation has been given of their dark com
plexion. The mere action of the sun
cannot account for the deep color of these
races, because the darkest are not found
in the warmest regions. Some think 1t
probable that the dark skinned members
of the original members of the families
which made their way into tropical Afri-
ca had for some reason more power of re-
sisting malarious fevers than had their
lighter brethren, and so by a process of
natural selection the light-skinned weed
ed out, and the whole race became dark.
This is, however, conjecture.
